1955 Map of Bernville
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Tulpehocken Creek defines the landscape of central Berks County, winding through several townships and past the borough of Bernville. The map illustrates a transitional era where traditional agricultural patterns meet mid-century county infrastructure. Of particular historical interest is the path of the Union Canal, which follows the creek as a relic of 19th-century transport. The southeastern corner of the map reveals a concentrated cluster of public institutions, including the County Home and Hospital, County Sanatorium, and County Prison, indicating the area's role as a civic hub for the broader region.
